What are the benefits of filing a provisional patent application?

Filing a provisional application establishes a priority date and patent pending status, which allows you more time to refine the invention and to perform patentability searches. A provisional application helps avoid an invention becoming ineligible for patent protection due to statutory bars. After filing a provisional patent application, you have safeguards in place to test demand for your invention; present their invention to investors; and/or to begin generating revenue from your invention.
